Can I ask what prompted your post?


I got one too many hatemails from a "nvidia fanboy" who blamed me for
just about anything wrong in the world.... I fear that most of these
people have no idea why open source drivers matter, or at least what the
consequences are for not caring about drivers being open or not.

I guess that such people also use drivers without Microsoft's digital signature in Windows and don't understand where their bluescreens come from. So talking to them is a wasted effort.
